Anybody know where I can get my hands on one of these? or where I can order one from? Looking for one in either a .338 Federal(preferred) or .300 WinMag.

Thanks,

Jon

  Hi Jon,
  
  The last I knew, the Battue was made on the 595/695 actions, not the T3. The Battue was never a "Lite" rifle. It was the pre-runner of the Tactical/Varmint stuff for Tikka. There are a couple 695's on the auction side. As for the T3 Lite's, there are several of those on the auction side also in either caliber you listed, in both blue, or stainless.
  
  Happy shopping!
  
  Best

  Well the T3 Battue lite is made and any dealer should be able to order one for you. They are made in .300 Win Mag so that should meet your requirements.

  Jon0322,
  
  Yes, the Tikka Battue Lite is available in the cartridges you named. However, finding one in the U.S might be a challenge. I find them in Canada, New Zealand, Australia and Europe of course but here, not so easy.
  
  There are several members who are either distributors or have access to a distribution network that could lend a hand. Mark C. (mod) has some of the older Battues but might have information about availability of the newer model here in the States.
  
  Push comes to shove, call Beretta to see if they have any insight or suggestion.
